THE STORY OF MAPLE LEAF GARDENS,
By E. O. GAVIN "HOCKEY FAN" (United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Story of Maple Leaf Gardens (Paperback)
I was expecting more. They give a brief story of each event with pictures. Expecting a lot more. Espeacially with the Maple Leafs stories. Don't bother.
